Dempsey suspended two games for violent conduct

NEW YORK -- New England Revolution midfielder Clint Dempsey
was suspended two games and fined $1,000 for violent conduct in the
Revolution's 0-0 tie with the Kansas City Wizards a week ago.
On Aug. 9, Dempsey and Wizards defender Jimmy Conrad jumped for
a head ball in midfield and Dempsey's elbow struck Conrad in the
face.
Dempsey's suspension means he will miss games against the
Chicago Fire at home on Sunday and the Columbus Crew at home a week
later.
Last month, the league suspended Dempsey for one game for a
"violent incident" against Chicago Fire defender Gonzalo Segares
during a match. He also was fined $750.
In March, Dempsey served a two-week suspension issued by the
Revolution after fighting with a teammate during a preseason
practice.
